diff.orderFile, I think.

It also occurs to me that it would be useful for patch formatting in
general to make all file removals go after file changes & additions.

I wonder if that might run afoul of programs which try to apply patches
in order. I think "git apply" is smart enough to apply all deletions
(regardless of order) before any creations (so it cannot be fooled by
adding "foo" followed by deleting "foo/bar"). So maybe it's fine.
